Lopez has been a source of offensive production lately for the Knicks, who face the Jazz Wednesday at the Garden. A career 8.2-points-per-game scorer, Lopez has averaged 12.7 points in his last nine games, shooting .570 in that span (49-of-86).

“I think I have a better idea of where guys are on the floor and where my opportunities are going to present themselves,” said Lopez, always considered the “defensive” twin, with brother Brook regarded as the offensive guy. “Guys, the team, coaching staff, they’re developing a confidence in me and that helps, that’s contagious.

“I’ve used it pretty frequently in the past. But I just think it’s at a higher clip now,” Lopez said of his hook shot.

Anthony said: “The way our offense is designed is to play inside out and Robin is a guy who’s down there most of the time. We feel comfortable and confident when we do give him the ball that he can make a play whether for himself or everybody else. So it’s not just relying on him on the defensive end.”

In addition to Kristaps Porzingis (sore right foot), Lance Thomas (sore left knee) and Kevin Seraphin (bruised rib) are listed as questionable for Wednesday. Porzingis was questionable Saturday with a sore right shoulder, but played.

“I think he had a play [Monday] that kind of banged his knee up,” coach Derek Fisher said Tuesday about Thomas. “He’s going to get it taken a look at by the doc later this afternoon and maybe first thing tomorrow morning just kind of make sure everything is good there. We’ll decide what is best for him.”

“We didn’t do a lot today, physically at least. Kris is a little bit banged up with the foot, Lance is banged up some, Kevin Seraphin is still a little bit banged up.”

Knicks president Phil Jackson posted a lengthy tribute to the late John Bach on Twitter, displaying a picture of his nearly 1,400-word remembrance.

Jackson told of working on the Bulls staff with Bach among others and stressed the late coach’s defensive genius. Jackson told of Bach showing a fighting eagle tattoo he had on his chest.

“Tonight I’ll think of him and that spirit he embodied, especially his motto after a late game on the road. ‘What? You can’t be tired. You can sleep in the grave.’ Sleep well, Johnny,” Jackson wrote.

The Knicks have not forgotten the 106-85 beating they suffered in Utah Dec. 9.

“The last time we played them, they gave us a whupping. It’s something we haven’t forgotten and we won’t forget that,” Anthony said. “We want to go out there tomorrow and do better, get better but also keep in the back of our mind that this is a game that we want to go get and we believe that we can get it, especially on our home court.”
